½ -1 cup sugar ( Depends on how sweet your strawberries are and how sweet you want your jam to be)
1 tbsp lemon Juice
Instructions
Clean the fruit and dry.
Cut the strawberry into chunks.
Place an empty saucer in the freezer ( You gonna know why in the next few lines)
Simmer all the ingredients in large pan for 15 minutes or until you get a jam like consistency.
While berries are cooking, boil your jar in hot water.
Make sure the jam boils hard until it reaches the setting point.
Check the setting point every ten minutes, although it may take up to half an hour to reach setting point.
To test the setting point
Take your saucer from the freezer and place a large drop of jam onto the cold plate. After a few seconds push the jam with your finger.
If the jam surface wrinkles then it has reached setting point and is ready. If it slides about as a liquid, then it hasn't reached setting point, continue boiling for a few more minutes before testing again.
When setting point has been reached, turn off the heat. Skim off any bubble on the surface of the jam.
Remove you jar from the boiling water and shake excess water off the jar.
Pour Jam in the glass jar and place it in hot water for 10 minutes. If you plan to keep in the refrigerator there is no need for the last water bath.
Allow to cool completely before storing in the pantry or the refrigerate.
Notes
skipped the last hot water bath as I made really little jam and I had no intentions on keeping it for a long time. For those who are planning to keep it for a long time, or you wanna keep it on the shelves, do not skip this step.
